So ive attached the drive as a secondary on my computer right now.
The disk accidently GOT completely formatted and now it says its an invalid disk.
Im wondering where to go from here,i think i should restore the fat32 drive partition.I just dont know how to go about doing that.
(im EVENTUALLY going to use it for a different os) All i need is to be able to run dos so i can hopefully use
an installation cd and and install my new operating system onto the computer it originally came from.
Its a low spec computer by the way(127mb ram,13gig hrddrve,intel celeron)
and im trying to use puppy linux on it.I hope that will work.
I think i also might have to find a way to put dos on it too but im not sure.Any links,SUGGESTIONS,or ideas would be appreciated,thanks.Before Linux install.... do your DOS install, this way the installer that might be "Grub" will see it and allow for you to make your system a dual-boot OS DOS/Linux... Trying to install Linux first than any MS PRODUCT will lead to headaches. Linux will work around MS, but MS does not like to work around other OS that are non-MS flavor.

Be sure also if putting 2 OS on a single HD that you only create a partitition say 2GB in size for DOS 6.22, and leave the rest empty for Linux... Your DOS partition can also be cross platform compatable being that it would be FAT16 or 32. Then the Linux install will look at the HD and see say 11GB free of the 13GB drive and use that. If you are using an older DOS like 5.0, you will hit the 512MB drive limitation mess.

Good luck...sounds like fun.... BTW.... what will this system be used for... just a tinker box or specific use?Use the drive manuf. FREE utilities to prepare the drive for whatever OS you want to install...
